Unfortunately no. The clipboardData["html"] is LC htmltext, which doesn't
support
Actually, you could extract the text and write it into an html table in any
version of LC. Then set the clipboardData["html"] to it.
It would only paste into apps that accept html of course.

The impact is (what I wrote): You can't put that into the
**LC 6** - clipboard.
Of course we can do that in LC 8 or later by accessing the
*raw* clipboard. That is:

Jacque's suggestion for PDF printing is excellent. That will get you a file.
But you mentioned you want this to end up on the clipboard for pasting into
other programs.

But the OP wants everything in the clipboard, so he can paste away.
I suppose that the target apps might have a feature to import pdf's as a
menu command, but that would require scaling and who knows what else.

You could instead use

Right, so you need an image, not any sort of text wizardry.
I did a quick test using the "import snapshot" command, and pasted the
result into another app. It seems to have the same resolution as the img in

Looking at the responses so far, I think the confusion is whether you only
want to extract the text from the fields, or whether you want to duplicate
the field borders as well in order to reproduce the appearance of a grid
with gridlines.

David,
I think your programming approach is a good idea and may be the solution to my
problem. Do you have a sample stack you could send me to look at?

"This is why I was trying to utilize the clipboard using text directly rather

Not understanding (again). How would you reproduce the physical fields as
any form of text?
That is how I started, with the field data, which I see now was not what you
wanted.

Hello Charles,
I very often have to manipulate psychological test and subtest scores in LC
that have to be exported in different formats. It is difficult to be sure I
understand what you are trying to do, but I will say that I find the following
the approach is one that suits me:

Craig,
I have tried the method you suggested. It does yield decent results but I was
hoping for better quality. This is why I was trying to utilize the clipboard
using text directly rather than a graphic.

Sorry, I meant "import snapshot".
Try this, and read the dictionary to set it up the way you want, likely from
a rect. The resulting img control can then be placed into the clipboard.
Quality should be pretty good.

I have 14 fields for subtest names named test1, test2, test3,..test14 and
another 14 fields for scores named score1, score2, score3,..score14. They are
all associated with different tests. Some tests will have all 14 subtests and
scores while others will have only have one subtest and one
Does the "export snapshot" command do what you want? That is an old gadget.

Ah. Hmmm.
Do i understand you want to take a "picture" of your existing field array,
and place that in the clipboard?

Easy, if I understand what you are asking.
So do you have pairs of fields, each pair a "name" and a "score"? Something
like:
name1, score1
name2, score2
etc.
??
Are these pairs of fields associated with each other in the way I assumed,
that is, by their names, or in some other way?
In any
There is no way to do that with the *LC 6* clipboard.
But, assuming you are on Mac, you could ...
... (1) 'code' the fields into a html table (no need to display that
in LC). This is not too hard when using merge.
... (2) Then write that to a temporary html file

Thanks for responding to my LC problem. The fields have their showBorder set to

Are thee boxes individual fields? Or are they the "cells" that comprise

In either case, or in any case at all, one can place the data in those boxes
onto the clipboard by setting the clipbardData to the text of those, er,
boxes. This either
